Re: Mauser 98 or a Winchester Model 70 pre 64 action

I already own a 30-06 pre-64 featherweight in very good condition(made in 1959). I bought that rifle without a scope for 1.400 EUROs and fittet a used Kahles 6x42 onto the rifle. The rifle shoots very precisely and has an extremely fast barrel (though it wears a rather short barrel with 22"). It shoots my loads with 220 grs at a measured 2.485 fps and a specially made 241 grainer at 2.406 fps (much faster than a tested 24" steyr, a 24" sako and a 24" sauer!), whereas three shots of that two loads went under an inch at 100 yards regularely.
Itīs also clearly seen, that such a rifle in very good condition does not go over the counter at the charges you hope to get one.
You will have to settle at another model/maker (I think that it should be no problem to get a CZ or a Ruger for that charge)...
